Abstract: A cover for a steam radiator and for circulating air passing therepast. The cover includes a cover and blower apparatus. The cover covers the steam radiator. The blower apparatus is connected to the cover and circulates the air passing past the steam radiator.

Abstract: A low voltage light novelty decoration that includes a substantially hollow and decorative main portion, a generally circular-shaped base portion, and adjusting apparatus. The substantially hollow and decorative main portion has a shape that identifies a specific event and provides an optical recognition that associates the specific event in a mind of a viewer. The generally circular-shaped base portion is integrally formed and has an exposed outer surface, a substantially concealed inner surface, a center, and a centrally-disposed, inwardly-tapering, longitudinally-oriented, and generally circular-shaped throughbore.

Abstract: An improved precise orientating tooth drilling device of a type having drill orientation apparatus attaching to a dental drill with a drill bit by a drill clamp and generating a drill angular position signal having a drill signal X-component and a drill signal Y-component and representing an angular position of the drill orientation apparatus, tooth orientation apparatus for removably attaching to a tooth and generating a tooth angular position signal having a tooth signal X-component and a tooth signal Y-component and representing an angular position of the tooth, comparing apparatus for, comparing the drill angular position signal and the tooth angular position signal to each other and determining if a difference therebetween is within a predetermined value, and an alarm alerting when the difference between the drill angular position signal and the tooth angular position signal is not within the predetermined value so that repositioning of the drill can be initiated.

Abstract: A chute shovel that facilitates manual pushing of garbage down a garbage chute in a wall, and which is replaceably mounted to the wall adjacent the garbage chute in the wall. The chute shovel includes a handle and a push plate affixed to the handle. The push plate has a center with an aperture therein that perpendicularly receives the handle, which is maintained therein by a nut. The push plate further has corners that are bent downwardly in opposition to the handle so as to prevent the push plate from sliding laterally on the garbage when the chute shovel is in use, wherein the corners of the push plate are generally semi-circular-shaped so as to prevent puncturing the garbage when the chute shovel is in use.

Abstract: A towel mitt for washing that includes a first layer of material and a second layer of material juxtaposed on the second layer of material and forms therewith a hand receiving pocket for receiving a hand of a user. The first and second layers of material have pile outer faces for delicate washing and abrasive inner faces for more abrasive cleaning and for increasing friction between the hand of the user and the towel mitt so as to prevent unintentional dropping of the towel mitt. The hand receiving pocket is symmetrical relative to the longitudinal centerline of the towel mitt so as to allow the towel mitt to be used on either hand without discomfort, and is defined by stitching that is inward of the edges of the first and second layers of material so as to form flaps that when flipped above expose the abrasive inner faces of the first and second layers of material for utilization when more abrasive cleaning is required.
